Empire Natural Thin Stone Veneer
- Neil J.
We purchased Empire for our Minnesota home. The stone was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We will definitely recommend Quarry Mill to our friends, family, and neighbors.
Empire is one of our most popular real stone veneers. This natural limestone veneer can be summed up in two words: timeless and classic. Since the advent of machine presses that harness enough power to cleanly break stone slabs, Empire has been a favorite choice for natural stone. The stone has never gone out of style throughout all the years and changing design trends. Empire is 100% machine-cut or split-face limestone and each piece of thin stone has consistently smooth textures. The names split face and machine cut both come from the process of breaking the stone with the hydraulic press.

- The Quarry Mill is fantastic! We used the Empire stone on our house. Our sales representative, Brandon, walked us through different products and provided information on the stone. The photos of previous projects were wonderful. Our stone project was a huge success!
- Empire is a quality product, looks fantastic on our house, the price is transparent, and the delivery arrived on time. We are delighted with the look of our house. Very happy we ordered Empire from Quarry Mill.
- We are very pleased with Empire stone from The Quarry Mill. It transformed the outside of our custom built home. Our friends have commented on the look of our home and we are proud to entertain here. It is exactly what we wanted. The employees were very attentive to our needs and questions and did a great job keeping us informed. The stone is exceptional. I have already recommended the Quarry Mill to a friend.
- We spent hours on The Quarry Mill website just to get ideas for the stone exterior portion of our new home. We were so impressed with what we saw after those first few hours that we decided to order a couple of sample boards. Fast forward a week and we had placed an order for Empire. Another few weeks and the stone had arrived and our contractor had it installed. The house looks fantastic and just how we envisioned it. The employees at the Quarry Mill are professional, thorough, and very helpful. Thank you for the great stone and customer service!
